278015 ÷ 43 
We're looking to find how many times 43 goes into 278015.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 43

On to step 3:
43 goes into 278 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 258 from 278 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 200 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 172 from 200.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
281 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 646.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 258 from 281.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 goes into 235 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6465.0
Subtracting 215 from 235 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
43 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6465.4
Subtract 172 from 200 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 280 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6465.46
Subtract 258 from 280 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6465.465
If we take 215 away from 220, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6465.4651
If we subtract 43 from 50, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
43 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6465.46511
If we subtract 43 from 70, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6465.46511 and a remainder of 2.7e-05.
